Daini Tsuki
Part 1
~~~~~~~
"Ruroni!"
"Yes, Queen Nisei-sama?"
"I want Endymion for myself. I shall give you youma to defeat Sailor Moon, Princess Serenity. Do whatever you like to her Senshi, but I want the Princess dead and Endymion brought to me. Is that clear?"
"Hai, my Queen. I will do whatever it takes!"
~~~~~~~
Usagi yawned as she stepped into her house. It was the second night of fighting for the Sailor Senshi. The new enemy seemed to like to attack when no one else was around. Tsukino Kenji was waiting up for Usagi. He stood in the hallway glaring at her as she took off her shoes. "Papa, what is it? You seem upset."
"Usagi, I'm sick of you coming home at all hours of the night! I don't like this Sailor Moon business at all! In fact, as of now, I am forbidding you to become Sailor Moon." Usagi blinked. Did he just say what she thought he just said. Before she could reply, Kenji stepped up to her and removed her brooch. "I'll keep this with me."
"Papa! I need that! I have to be Sailor Moon, I have to... Onegai, give it back, Papa."
"Iya, Usagi." At that, he turned and headed upstairs.
Usagi didn't know what to do, but she knew she wouldn't be able to sleep.
~~~~~~~~
Usagi sadly walked downstairs to join her family for breakfast. When she arrived at the table, she noticed that her father wasn't there. "Mama, where's Papa?"
"Did you forget, baka Usagi!" Her brother, Shingo, said, "he went to Yokohoma for that three day meeting."
"Mama... did he talk to you about... about..."
"About what, dear?" Ikuko asked.
Usagi was near tears. "My brooch."
"What about it, is it broken?"
"Iie, he took it from me. Mama, he's forbidden me to become Sailor Moon!"
Ikuko stared at her daughter in shock. "Nani? Are you certain you didn't just misunderstand him?"
"I am! He forbid me! I have to be Sailor Moon, I just have to be!"
The phone rang. Shingo, who had been listening to the conversation in silence, answered it. "Moshi moshi? Oh, Papa! Hai, hai, she's right here. Hold on... Baka Usagi, Papa wants to talk to you."
"Hai?" Ikuko and Shingo watched her expression change from hope that he was changing his mind to utter despair. "Papa! Onegai! They're the only friends I have! Papa! Pa-" Usagi stared at the phone. He had hung up on her.
Ikuko put a hand on her should. "Usagi, daijobu? What did he say?"
"He said that I couldn't see or talk to Mamo-chan and the girls ever again."
~~~~~~~
Usagi walked silently home from school. She dared not walk with Ami or Makoto. Her father would be on his way home and with her luck, he would spot her with them. She completely ignored the two girls when they called her to their table at lunch. Usagi wanted to explain to them, but she didn't know how to. Her heart nearly skipped a beat when her communicator went off. "Minna! Hurry to the old warehouse off old Juuban Road!"
Without thinking of herself, Usagi ran to the warehouse.
~~~~~~~
Usagi watched the battle from behind a stack of crates. She could hear Sailor Mars complaining about her tardiness. But, what could she do? Well, the question was answered. The Senshi were down for the count and didn't notice the youma preparing for another attack. Usagi jumped out and slammed straight into the youma.
"USAGI!"
"USAGI-CHAN!"
"What are you doing?" Mars yelled in confusion. "Why aren't you transformed?"
Tuxedo Kamen arrived just in time to see his girlfriend charging at a youma. The minute Usagi charged it, she regretted it. *Why don't I ever use my brain? How can I defeat this thing?* She screamed as the youma grabbed her and tossed her into some crates. She felt something pop in her knee as she landed on it.
"Minna!" Tuxedo Kamen said. "Finish it off!"
"HAI!"
As the Senshi went about disposing of the youma, he ran up to Usagi. "Usa-ko, daijobu? Why didn't you transform?" She didn't reply, but just laid on the ground. "Usa?"
"Mamo-chan..."
It was then that he noticed that her brooch was missing. Usagi slowly sat up with his help. Before he could ask her about her brooch, the Senshi ran up to them. "Baka Usagi! What did you think you were doing?" Rei asked.
"Rei-chan," Mamoru said, "calm down a minute. Usa-ko, where's your brooch?"
The minute he questioned her, the girls gasped. "Nani yo?"
Holding back her tears, Usagi told them what happened between her and her father and the demands he made. "Gomen ne. I didn't tell you because I didn't know how. Everyone thinks I'm irresponsible as it is."
"Usagi-chan, this has nothing to do with responsibility," Ami said. "From what you're saying, you were very responsible in trying to convince your father that you need to become Sailor Moon."
"If I was, then how come it didn't work?" she asked sadly.
~~~~~~~
Mamoru helped Usagi onto the couch. Ikuko and Shingo left a note saying that were at the grocery store. "Usa-ko, lie down and I'll bring some ice for your knee." She just nodded a reply as he headed to the kitchen.
"Usagi? Are you home?" Ikuko said.
"Hai, Mama, I'm in the living room."
"Usagi, Shingo and I weren't sure--" She stopped when she saw Usagi on the couch. "What happened, Usagi?" Mamoru walked in with the ice. "Mamoru-san, what's going on?"
"You're daughter likes to fight even without her transformation brooch."
"Nani?" Ikuko shouted, tears in her eyes.
"Mama, you're not mad are you? I had to stop the youma from hurting the others."
Ikuko went up to Usagi and gave her a hug. "You're so brave, Usa. I'm proud of you."
Shingo was about to head upstairs from the mushiness when he saw his father seething at the sight of Mamoru. "Papa!" he said.
Everyone turned to face Kenji. "What the hell is going on here?" He didn't take his eyes off Mamoru the entire time. "Why are you here?"
"Papa," Usagi said getting up. She nearly fell over, but Ikuko caught her in time.
"Usagi, what happened! What did he do to you?"
"HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO ME!" Usagi screamed. Kenji just looked at his daughter in shock. "For your information, I'm like this because you took my brooch away. The girls needed my help and I did what I could. Just because I didn't transform into Sailor Moon doesn't mean I can't be like her. She's me and I'm her."
As soon as Usagi was finished, she rushed out of the room as fast as she could and out the door. Kenji was too stunned to say anything as Mamoru followed her. "Kenji, give me Usagi's brooch," Ikuko said quietly.
"I can't."
"Doushite? She's going to help the other Senshi whether you want her to or not and I'd prefere that she would be able to transform. It's true that Usagi could get killed, but you're raising the chances by not letting her have the brooch."
"No, Ikuko, you don't understand," Kenji said with a sigh, "I can't give it to her because I don't have it anymore."
~~~~~~~
Usagi sank to the ground in tears near the bottom of the steps of Rei's temple. Her knee was aching badly as was her heart. How could her father not understand? "Usa-ko..."
"Mamo-chan, what am I going to do? I can't fight, but the Senshi need me," she said between sobs.
"We'll figure out something, I promise. Now what do you say I help you up these stairs. You're going to want to stay here for the night, ne?" Usagi nodded as Mamoru picked her up.
Rei had just finished a fire reading when he saw Mamoru carrying Usagi up the stairs. "Usagi, Mamoru-san, what's wrong?"
"Uh, Rei-chan, can I stay here tonight?" Usagi asked tiredly.
"Of course! Mamoru-san, bring her to the guest room next to mine." Mamoru did so and laid Usagi on the bed.
"Mamo-chan, will you stay with me until I fall asleep, onegai."
Mamoru nodded. "Hai, Usa-ko, demo, let me call your mother first."
"Okay."
Mamoru was shutting the door when Rei tapped him on the shoulder. He jumped nearly ten feet. "Rei-chan," he whispered, "don't do that, I thought it was Usa's dad."
"Gomen nasai. What happened?" Mamoru told Rei what had happened. "Poor Usagi. What can we do?"
"For now, all we can do is be supportive. Call the others and tell them we'll have an emergency meeting here tomorrow morning. I'm going to call Tsukino-san, she'll be worried."
~~~~~~~
"Nani?" the Senshi asked. They had arrived at the temple a half an hour ago and Mamoru had just told them what happened the night before. Usagi was still asleep.
"There's something else. I haven't told Usa-ko yet, demo, her mother told me on the phone last night. Apparently, Tsukino-san sold the brooch."
"NANI YO!" The girls and Mamoru turned around the see Usagi standing behind them. Tears were spilling down her face. "Mamo-chan, you should have told me."
"I know Usa, gomen. Forgive me?"
Usagi nodded. "I'd better go home," she told them sadly.
"Usagi-chan, matte!" Ami said, pulling out her computer. "I can pinpoint where the Ginzuishou is then we can go get it."
"Honto?"
"Hai, just give me fifteen minutes."
"Okay," Usagi replied sitting next to Mamoru.
~~~~~~~
"Minna!" Ami said. "I've located the Ginzuishou! It's still in Yokohoma, if we hurry, we may be able to get to it!"
Usagi stood up, nearly toppling over. Mamoru caught her. "Well, what are we waiting for, lets go!"
"We shouldn't all go," Makoto replied. "Minako-chan, Rei-chan, and I will stay behind in case the enemy should arrive again. We'll also let Usagi-chan's parents know what's going on."
"Good idea," Mamoru told her. "We'll be back as soon as possible." He looked at Ami and Usagi. "Ready?"
"Hai!"
~~~~~~~
Ruroni was satisfied that he had found the Ginzuishou so quickly. "I don't know why it's not with the Princess, but I'm not complaining," he said more to himself than to the youma that was with him.
"Ruroni-sama," the youma said. "How do we know the Princess will come?"
"Baka! She needs the Ginzuishou to transform into Sailor Moon! Lets leave the planet, she'll lose energy that way and be easier to kill."
~~~~~~~
Usagi stared quietly out the window. She wondered how her father could have been so cruel. Didn't he believe in her? She had saved the world with the help of her friends many times. A beeping pulled Usagi out of her thoughts. "Ami-chan..." she said hopefully.
Ami smiled. "Mamoru-san, pull over next to that jewelry store."
Usagi looked at the sign, 'Muriko and Sons Jewelers'. Muriko was friends with the Tsukino's. "Muriko-san is Papa's best friend," she said with a smile. "I haven't seen him in months."
As Usagi was about to enter, Ami's computer beeped again. "Nani?" she asked. "What is it, Ami-chan?" Suddenly, Usagi felt very lightheaded and everything was spinning. "Mamo-chan..." she whispered before she lost consciousness.
"Usa-ko! What's going on?" he demanded.
"The Ginzuishou, it's... gone. I don't have any trace of it at all!"
